Il contributo propone un’analisi della narrazione dell’esperienza del COVID a Wuhan nei primi mesi del 2020 proposta dalle due serie televisive Heroes e With you realizzate a ridosso della conclusione del primo lockdown cinese. L’esame sarà svolto individuando gli elementi comuni alle due serie nella descrizione dei protagonisti delle serie e il modo in cui dialogano con personaggi e fatti reali, anche alla luce delle presentazioni offerte dai produttori televisivi alla stampa e pubblicate su riviste specializzate o riviste di partito. Al fine di capire se questa esperienza sia considerata in Cina come un trauma culturale, le serie sono, quindi, qui considerate come spazi di interpretazione dell’esperienza individuale in senso collettivo, discorsi in cui la memoria esercita un ruolo fondante nella definizione dell’io sociale e culturale.

The difficulty of translating dialects has been extensively studied over the years, firstly by scholars who focused on the (un)translatability of dialects in literature, and more recently by an increasing number of academics who have been investigating the issue within the field of audiovisual translation, both in dubbing and in subtitling. This study aims to analyse the strategies used in subtitling to translate into English the Sicilian dialect spoken in the Italian film La mafia uccide solo d’estate, directed by Pif in 2013. In this film, the use of dialect is not simply a tool to indicate the geographical origins of the characters, but it is exploited to construe their identity. Indeed, language variation is a device used purposefully to distinguish the ‘good’ characters from the ‘bad’ ones, and, as such, it is a means of identification. The results of the analysis will also be compared to those of previous studies conducted in this research area. Finally, the paper will attempt to provide some potential solutions that might be adopted in the subtitling of similar products, based on previous studies performed by the author on the original dialogues of some Hollywood films.

Como ha sido reportado para otros países, el Perú ha sido también un territorio con alto porcentaje de decesos a causa de la pandemia del coronavirus. Los estragos de la enfermedad han repercutido, asimismo, en diversos sectores de la población local, como la economía, la educación y la salud. Sin embargo, uno de los recursos más poderosos para afrontar esta pandemia ha residido en la promoción de campañas publicitarias en torno a la vacunación contra la COVID-19 en toda la región. En este contexto, la prensa peruana ha desplegado una serie de discursos que alientan la inmunización a través de un conjunto de beneficios que ofrecen diversas empresas (restaurantes, centros comerciales, operadoras de telefonía móvil, etc.). Estos discursos borran, no obstante, las relaciones de poder y las brechas sociales ya existentes. A través del análisis crítico de estos discursos mediáticos, este artículo propone cómo la prensa peruana destaca cierta clase de actores sociales pudientes, pero esconde otros que han interrumpido sus estudios, que han sufrido pérdidas económicas, que han sido excluidos de todo programa de reactivación económica, entre otros aspectos. En este escenario, el análisis evidencia quiénes son esos ‘Otros’, y, más tarde, cómo aparecen discursivamente en este mismo contexto de crisis sanitaria.

The initial outburst of the pandemic, in early 2020, forced China and the rest of the world into seclusion, anxiety, social alienation. In the Sinosphere, a human response to the aporia of isolation is the lyrical production, a prosperous literary activity through which the individual gives shape to a collective consciousness. The present paper examines a collection of Sinophone verses sprung from the Covid-19 threat and dismay, as a psychic necessity to re-organize the perception of the outer world. Specifically, it studies a body of fifty-two poems composed by twelve lyrical Sinophone voices, published in Chinese in a spring number of the respected literary journal Jintian 今天. This investigation primarily focuses on the cultural, aesthetic, and psychological value of a lyrical polyphony embodied by unchained Sinophone voices, which sing against the background of a common predicament. In parallel, it reads the collection as a collective memory and a cultural repository, engendered by a narrative projection of experience: to that end, it combines a narratological approach with the observation of certain lyrical features of a “poetics of distress”.

In March 2020, more than 100 governments around the world imposed partial or full lockdown policies prohibiting people to leave their homes except for activities deemed essential (e.g. procuring food, going to work) to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmissions. Furthermore, authorities, media and peers encouraged people to adopt physical distancing behaviors, requesting not to touch each other and even keep a distance of at least one to two meters from one another. Cultural and literary productions—so-called Corona Fictions—represent and process the multitude of ways the population perceived and coped with the lockdown situation during the pandemic and its diverse effects. While literary texts written during confinement and published in anthologies focus on emotional states enhanced by the psychological impact of the lockdown, the narratives in films such as Norberto Ramos del Val’s ¡Ni te me acerques! (2020) focus on negotiating the process of physical distancing itself. This contribution will, thus, look at the representations of physical distancing in written and audiovisual productions from the first lockdown and analyze the similarities therein. From a cultural studies point of view, we are particularly interested in the ways these Corona Fictions negotiate physical distancing, isolation and self-reflection in their narratives of the respective medium.

After the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in China in December 2019, information spread globally as fast as the virus. Different stakeholders confronted daily in the rhetorical arenas of social media within and across countries, thus providing a bewildering view of the impact of COVID-19 on communication. This paper aims at investigating the crisis of communication during the first wave of the pandemic, drawing upon the rhetorical arena communication model (Johansen and Frandsen 2017). This model, which entails a macro- and a micro-layer of analysis, allows us to recognize the complexity of the inter-actorial relations taking place between various “voices”, e.g., political and economic actors, international organizations, healthcare professionals, and the media, who compete or collaborate to manage the crisis. In this regard, research is carried out on a set of corpora, including press releases issued by the WHO, political speeches released by Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, as well as reactions to them provided by public opinion via diverse social media outlets, in the period between January and June 2020. Attention is paid to the micro-level of the arena, in particular some specific “text” parameters, namely the verbal and visual semiotic adopted, the crisis communicative strategies of scapegoating and counterattack, metaphors and speech acts.

Similar to many other countries, journalistic production in China during the first half of 2020 was dominated on a thematic level by the COVID-19 pandemic. The trend included the mouthpiece of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Renmin Ribao. Its news and commentary articles, which are widely republished by other media, influence the country’s political life, and contribute to the process of meaning generation in the news discourse and to the CCP’s effort to align Chinese citizens to official narratives. Renmin Ribao can therefore provide a relevant source to investigate the relationship between political power and the COVID-19 pandemic, starting from the hypothesis that the paper’s narrative would aim at discursively turning the international health crisis into a piece of positive propaganda. This study aims to verify whether and how the paper did so, and to question the assumption that the outlet’s media discourse can be equated to the CCP official discourse. The research is developed as a case study and blends quantitative and qualitative tools grounded on Applied Linguistics, Discourse-Historical Approach, and Frame Analysis, in order to analyse a corpus of commentaries that have appeared in the outlet’s online edition in 2020. By applying a Genre Analysis approach, the study also offers insights into the possibility to identify distinguishing characteristics and communicative goals in the different sub-genres of Renmin Ribao commentaries.

Nell’alveo della cosiddetta ‘seconda ondata’ del femminismo, che già linguisticamente viene raccontata in termini di diffusione epidemiologica, si inseriscono due racconti di Buzzati e di Levi in cui l’emancipazione muliebre assume i tratti fantastici di una malattia prodigiosa e pericolosamente contagiosa. Posta a conclusione della ‘sfortunata’ raccolta Le notti difficili, “La moglie con le ali” è una delle rare incursioni nel femminile in cui Buzzati manifesti una complice e sarcastica insofferenza verso i prototipi matrimoniali della società contemporanea. Le ali che spuntano sulla schiena della giovane e bellissima moglie del conte Giorgio Venanzi, terrorizzato dall’idea di uno scandalo, le concedono una evasione, seppur momentanea, dalla quotidiana e routinaria vita coniugale a cui si consegna giovanissima. Il prodigio del volo è misteriosamente concesso, in circostanze molto simili, anche a Isabella, protagonista leviana de “La grande mutazione”, scrupolosamente ispezionata da un medico che ne rileva il rischio di alta contagiosità. Superata la vergogna iniziale, la piccola donna assapora a pieno i vantaggi della libertà che misteriosamente le viene concessa e finisce per uscire allo scoperto. L’evento è vissuto con mortificazione e vergogna dal padre che, contagiato insieme al medico e ad altri compagni di classe, opterà per l’amputazione.
